Download or read book Exploring Bach s B minor Mass written by Yo Tomita and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The B-minor Mass has always represented a fascinating challenge to musical scholarship. Composed over the course of Johann Sebastian Bach's life, it is considered by many to be the composer's greatest and most complex work. The fourteen essays assembled in this volume originate from the International Symposium 'Understanding Bach's B-minor mass' at which scholars from eighteen countries gathered to debate the latest topics in the field. In revised and updated form, they comprise a thorough and systematic study of Bach's Opus Ultimum, including a wide range of discussions relating to the Mass's historical background and contexts, structure and proportion, sources and editions, and the reception of the work in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the light of important new developments in the study of the piece, this collection demonstrates the innovation and rigour for which Bach scholarship has become known.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "The widespread use of "period" instruments for the performance of Bach's choral music has brought significant new insights to the understanding of "authentic" Bach choral performance practice. Recordings such as Nikolaus Harnoncourt's 1968 interpretation of Bach's "Mass in B minor" represented to some degree a "revolution" in the way that the listening public would come to hear Bach's choral works. In a larger sense, however, these "period" instrument performances and recordings were in fact part of a longer "evolution". The history of "B Minor Mass" performances in New York City provides an especially rich prism through which to view that longer evolution of "authentic" performances: many New York ensembles, as well as visiting European ensembles whose recordings were widely available, performed the Mass in that city between 1900 and 1980, provding a substantial body of reviews that chronicles the reception history of "authentic" approaches to Bach's choral music before the hegemony of "period" instrument performances and recordings. ... After establishing what was known about Baroque performance practice in the early twentieth century, the study proceeds to a survey of New York performances ... from 1900 to 1960.... examines in detail the musical background, artistic approach and critical reception of four conductors whose recordings of the" Mass in B minor" provide a case study of the "revolutionary" shift between 1960 and 1980: Robert Shaw (1960), Karl Richter (1961), Nikolaus Harnoncourt (1968) and Helmuth Rilling (1977)."
Download or read book Compositional Choices and Meaning in the Vocal Music of J S Bach written by Mark A. Peters and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compositional Choices and Meaning in the Vocal Music of J. S. Bach collects seventeen essays by leading Bach scholars. The authors each address in some way such questions of meaning in J. S. Bach’s vocal compositions—including his Passions, Masses, Magnificat, and cantatas—with particular attention to how such meaning arises out of the intentionality of Bach’s own compositional choices or (in Part IV in particular) how meaning is discovered, and created, through the reception of Bach’s vocal works. And the authors do not consider such compositional choices in a vacuum, but rather discuss Bach’s artistic intentions within the framework of broader cultural trends—social, historical, theological, musical, etc. Such questions of compositional choice and meaning frame the four primary approaches to Bach’s vocal music taken by the authors in this volume, as seen across the book’s four parts: Part I: How might the study of historical theology inform our understanding of Bach’s compositional choices in his music for the church (cantatas, Passions, masses)? Part II: How can we apply traditional analytical tools to understand better how Bach’s compositions were created and how they might have been heard by his contemporaries? Part III: What we can understand anew through the study of Bach’s self-borrowing (i.e., parody), which always changed the earlier meaning of a composition through changes in textual content, compositional characteristics, the work’s context within a larger composition, and often the performance context (from court to church, for example)? Part IV: What can the study of reception teach us about a work’s meaning(s) in Bach’s time, during the time of his immediate successors, and at various points since then (including our present)? The chapters in this volume thus reflect the breadth of current Bach research in its attention not only to source study and analysis, but also to meanings and contexts for understanding Bach’s compositions.
